Scandalous Treatment of Antiquities Dealer

A prominent UK newspaper has published a story about the scandalous treatment of a UK antiquities dealer at the hands Greek and British law enforcement. See http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/7968373/Antique-dealer-attacks-scandalous-European-extradition-laws.html
Thankfully, UK judicial authorities ultimately intervened to squelch a dubious arrest warrant.

In any event, Greece's heavy handed approach to these issues suggest that our own government should resist excessive Greek demands as to the scope of any MOU.
